Viewing Labor Charge Field Values

Under the Labor Charge Fields heading, click the name of the labor charge field (for example, Department) for which you want to view labor charge values.

Note: Your company may use one or more free-form labor charge fields. These labor charge fields do not require specific codes or values to be entered, so you do not need to define values for them. Any free-form labor charge fields used by your company will not be listed in the Labor Charge Fields section of the Setup subtab.

A Labor Charge Values page (where Labor Charge is the name of the labor charge field you selected) opens and displays the labor charge field values that have been defined for the labor charge field you selected. For example, if you selected Department, a Department Values page opens and displays the specific department codes that have been created. The table below describes the information displayed for each labor charge field value.

Tip: You can use the Search Options tools at the top of the page to search for a particular value by ID or Description.

ID	The ID code assigned to the labor charge field value. This is the code that a user enters in the labor charge field on the Timecard Manager, scheduling pages, and other Time & Attendance module pages that use labor charge fields.
Description	A brief description of the labor charge field value.
Start date	The date on which a value became or will become available for use (assuming that the value is also marked as active). If this field is blank, the value is in effect until the end date (if defined), as long as the value is also marked as active.
End date	The last date on which a value was or will be available for use (assuming that the value is also marked as active). If this field is blank and the start day has passed (or a start day has not been defined), the value will be in effect as long as it is marked as active.
Active status	A green check mark indicates that this labor charge is active.

Note: The start and end date and the "active" setting work together to determine whether a value is available for use. Irrespective of whether a start and/or end date has been specified, a value must be marked as active in order to be available for use. If a start and/or end date has been specified for a value, the value will only be available for use if the current date falls within the defined start/end date range and the value is marked as active. See Editing Labor Charge Field Values for information about changing the effective dates and active status of a value.
